I put a password on my computer windows 7. Now I can't log on to my computer account.

Neither my original password (before you set an administrator password) or my work administrator recently-set password to log on my computer. When I set the admin password, it does not ask for me to retype my password, so I have typed it wrong but now have no idea what it is. I didn't know the administrator password would affect the past of windows logon, but my initial password no longer works. In addition, the indication of password to log on now is the same password on that indication I put the administrator password but this newspaper will not work. Please help me understand what I can do to connect to windows. Thank you.

  • someone like putting a password admin on my laptop and now I can not derfrag or something its running really slow I don't know the admin password

    someone like said a password admin on my computer I can't defragment or something, I really like the factory restore, but it won't let me not I do not know the password

    Hello johnwheldon,

    You have all other administrator accounts you log on?  If you want to restore your system back to factory settings, you will need to start in your boot options.  In general, each brand has different ways of access to this.  I suggest you look at your owner's manual or by visiting the manufacturer's website.

    I hope this helps.

  • My password has expired on Windows 7 and I can't access the machine

    I have a Samsung Windows 7 Home Edition laptop. Last night, the password has expired (apparently without warning) and now I can't access the machine. I tried Safe Mode, but it returns the sign on screen. Tried to fix and had the same end result - a return to the login screen. There is only one account on the machine.

    When your password has expired then, you will be immediately prompted to enter a new password. Unless you enter a new password, Windows won't let you continue.

    No, I had not given the possibility to enter a new password. It's a stupid system to have passwords expire on home computers.

    What you say does not correspond with my own observations.

    Restart in Mode safe mode, and then log in as administrator. The password is usually empty. Now, you can reset the password for your existing account.

    When you're done, plan in advance and create, test and document a second admin account.

    To avoid that your passwords expiring, follow these steps:
    1 log in under an administrator account.
    2. click on start.
    3. type the three letters cmd in the search box.
    4. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter
    5. click on "run as Administrator".
    6. type the following command and press ENTER:

  • Changed my sign in password and now I can't log on

    I have my computer password protected. I have Windows 7 Professional.

    I just changed the password and even wrote the password.

    I restarted the computer and tried to connect, but, I wrote the low password wrong or made a typo mistake so now I can't sign my computer.

    I don't have a backup password.

    Is there a way I can sign on my computer?

    Here you go:

    1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
    2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
    3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the CD.
    4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
    5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
    6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    7. Configure Windows to a point before you changed the password.
    8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble. Using a single administrator account is high-risk stuff.

    On some machines, you can start safe mode and log on as administrator with a blank password. This could allow to reset you the unknown password.

    If you do not burn a CD to repair until then you'll have to ask a friend to burn you through the control panel / backup and restore.

  • Help, I changed the password of root ESXi via powerCli, now I can not connect with the web client or the console.

    Help, I've changed the root ESXi via powerCli password, now I can not connect with the web client or the console, but I can still connect to powerCli. The command I used was;

    SE connect-VIServer esxihostname-user root - password newpasswd

    This production network btw, I have connected to each host and run the above command, these ESXi hosts are not on a domain

    y at - it something I have left out. I really appreciate any assistance that you people can provide.

    Thank you, Joe

    It is probably a longshot, but a lot of things in the land of windows is not sensitive to capital letters as Unix is.  I wonder if your new password you put through powerCLI mixed uppercase in it and if the capitalization was abandoned by command windows powerCLI Analyzer, or he interpreted as all capitals or something.   If you can still get through the powerCLI you could try to reset the password again to something simple without capitalization mixed case and if your password on ESXi strategy requires a special character, try something different than a "$", like a "_" (I find that a '_' is less likely than some other special characters (, as a '-' or a ' / ' to cause problems with analyzers.).

    Edit:

    Another thing, you can try before playing with the password once again, is to create a different username ESXi using powerCLI and see if the password ends up what you think, it should be, and if you can get with the client vsphere using it.  In this way, you can find out if there are some problems with certain characters or Cap through command powerCLI Analyzer without losing your remaining root by powerCLI access.  After some tests, you can understand what went wrong with your initial password change and may be able to fix it with less risk of losing access.  I also assume that you can not create a new username on ESXi who is able to change the root password no matter what authority give you it, otherwise, you could create a new username with PowerCLI, then connect to the client vsphere with it and change the password to root from there.

  • Help? Adobe Acrobat Standard 11 - just bought for windows 7, now I can't open pdf files or tie?

    Help!

    I just bought the last Adobe Acrobat XI Standard.

    I put in the serial key number but my computer tells me that calling a product is not found on my computer so I can not use the adobe product. So now I can't open any file or attach PDFs to emails without this message coming. I uninstalled the "Adobe Acrobat XI Standard twice! with no luck.

    I need it sorted as soon as possible because I'm working! Any suggestions?

    DotBellaParis if you are prompted for a product calling it so it would seem that you purchased an upgrade to Acrobat Standard XI.  You should have the option to enter the serial number of your previous purchase of Acrobat.  You can find information on how to locate your previous issues of the series at http://forums.adobe.com/message/3987968#3987968?promoid=KBHJW.

    If you did not intend to buy an upgrade, then I recommend to submit a return request.  You can find more information on the presentation of a return to the return, cancel, or Exchange an Adobe order - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/return-cancel-or-change-order.html.  Once you have returned the upgrade you can then buy the full version which will not ask you for an eligible product or a serial number.

  • HP MIni 210-2145 DX: clean install of Windows 7, now I can't find the wireless drivers that work.

    I have a HP mini 210-2145 DX.  I recently had to do a clean install of Windows Ultimate edition.  Now, I can get a wireless connection because I can't find the right drivers on the HP site.  I tried 12 + drivers that I downloaded.  They all seem to be for 32 bits, and it's 64-bit.

    Can someone please help me find the right wireless drivers to install?  Thank you.

    Try this different file and see if it works automatically and installs the driver.

    File name: sp57965.exe

    There was also support for the hardware ID you have posted.

    I have no problem downloading the file, or by using 7 - zip to extract the exe file downloaded to a folder that you can browse from the network controller to install the drivers.

    Unfortunately, I can't help you with the problem if the new file does not work.
